The Silver is not enough for a very hungry Roger Federer. The Wolrd no.1 confirmed in a recent interview at the CNN that he still thinks about give another shot to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
“I’m not sure yet, it’s four years away. I can retire in the meantime and come again!” Federer said “But I’m not going to do that, I’m going to keep on playing. I hope I can do it. I’m turning 31 in a few days, so I’ll be 35 for Rio — I think it’s possible but we’ll see how it goes.”
Talking about his recent defeat at the hand of Murray he added
“I’d have to say I was very disappointed for three to five minutes. I was in a little room waiting for the ceremony, I saw Del Potro and Murray and I saw how happy they were for gold, for bronze.
“Of course I’d just lost my match where Del Potro had to win the bronze over Djokovic. So I was in the middle and I was the only one who’d lost that day.
“I thought, ‘Hmmm, I could either be sad right now, extremely sad, or extremely proud and happy,’ and I chose to be extremely happy and proud.
“It was a dream summer for me. I won Wimbledon and I returned to world No. 1 and I tried everything I could to win Olympic gold, and I just came up against a better player on the day.
“So for me silver is the maximum I could get out of the Olympics this time around. I was just extremely happy, like a little kid there on the podium.”
So looking forward to see the Maestro back to the Olympics in 4 years time!
